“I feel like everybody’s rooting for Wayne because we seen what that man fought through to get this album out,” Markman said. “He was in purgatory with Cash Money, the legal dispute, the money dispute… No artist should have to go through that but a star of Lil Wayne’s magnitude out there, after everything he put in, shouldn’t have to go to that.”

HipHop Mike explained that he enjoyed, “just how in depth he went with his life and what’s been happening over the past couple years. I think it was more depth than any previous Wayne project that we’ve got and really got to see another side of Wayne that was a little bit wise.”

Meanwhile, Rivera noted that the album was a full-circle moment for her. “This album means a lot to me in so many ways. My pure prime teenage years was like Tha Carter III. He was one my favorite rappers growing up as well as Kanye. That was that era, so this album proved his influence,” she said.
